"When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" first appeared on the band's 1978 album Pleasure and Pain. Riding the disco wave in 1979 it belatedly became an international hit, reaching number six on the Billboard Hot 100[3] singles chart in the USA and doing even better in the UK where it spent three weeks at number one in the UK Singles Chart in November 1979. The song was subsequently added to the band's 1979 album Sometimes You Win. *** Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show (shortened to Dr. Hook in 1975) was an American rock band, formed in Union City, New Jersey. They enjoyed considerable commercial success in the 1970s with hit singles including "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover of 'Rolling Stone'" (both 1972), "Only Sixteen" (1975), "A Little Bit More" (1976), "Sharing the Night Together" (1978), "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" (1979), "Better Love Next Time" (1979), and "Sexy Eyes" (1980). In addition to their own material, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show performed songs written by the poet Shel Silverstein. The band had eight years of regular chart hits in the United States, where their music was played on top-40, easy listening, and country music outlets, and throughout the English-speaking world including the UK, Canada and South Africa. Their music spanned several genres, mostly novelty songs and acoustic ballads in their early years, though their greatest success came with their later material, mostly consisting of disco-influenced soft rock, which the band recorded under the shortened name Dr. Hook. *** Lyrics: When you're in love with a beautiful woman, it's hard When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you know it's hard Everybody wants her, everybody loves her Everybody wants to take your baby home When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you watch your friends When you're in love with a beautiful woman, it never ends You know that it's crazy, you wanna trust her Then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you go it alone Maybe it's just an ego problem Problem is that I've been fooled before By fair-weather friends and faint hearted lovers And every time it happens it just convinces me more When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you watch her eyes When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you look for lies Everybody tempts her, everybody tells her She's the most beautiful woman they know When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you go it alone When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you watch your friends When you're in love with a beautiful woman, it never ends When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you watch her eyes Teksten for When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
